Overview

This plugin provides audible and toast notifications when finding flatpak package updates and allows the user to update them at their leisure or automatically at user-defined intervals. The notifications can be toggled off if completely silent updates are preferred. There is also a relatively all-in-one (wip) flatpak manager for installing, uninstalling, masking, unmasking, and updating flatpaks.
